Police are enforcing a zero tolerance approach with efforts focussed on the provincial capital Tulagi.

Inspector Hugo Maelasi said the operation, executed this week, is focused on illegal markets, people causing a nuisance at night, marijuana use, illegal brewing of alcohol and being drunk and disorderly.

Police have been acting on information from provincial and community leaders and the Central Province Crime Prevention Council, he said.

Inspector Maelasi said his officers will take stern action against offenders.
